A diploma or license in surgery granted by any university in Ireland legally authorized to grant the same.
The act 39 and 40 Vict., c. 40, in sec. 3, provides that all persons who have obtained from any university of the United Kingdom legally authorized to confer the same, the degree of bachelor in surgery, shall be permitted to register the same as a qualification under 21 and 22 Vict., c. 90.
The diploma of a member of the King’s and Queen’s College of Physicians in Ireland, and the degree of Master in Obstetrics of any university in the United Kingdom are added to the qualifications in Schedule A of the Medical Act of 1858 (49 and 50 Vict., c. 48, s. 20).
The change of name of any of the corporations named in 21 and 22 Vict., c. 90, is not to alter or affect the qualifications constituted by the act (23 and 24 Vict., c. 66, s. 3).
Revocation of License.—The Society of Apothecaries may strike off from the list of licentiates of said society the name of any person who shall be convicted in England or Ireland of any felony or misdemeanor, or in Scotland of any crime or offence, or who shall, after due inquiry, be judged by the general council to have been guilty of infamous conduct in any professional respect, and the said society shall forthwith signify to the general council the name of the licentiate so stricken off (37 and 38 Vict., c. 34, s. 4).
Women.—The Society of Apothecaries is not relieved from any existing obligation, nor deprived of any right, to admit women to the examinations required for certificates to practise as apothecaries, or to enter the lists of licentiates of said society, any women who shall have satisfactorily passed such examinations, and fulfilled the other general conditions imposed upon persons seeking to obtain from the said society a qualification to be registered under 21 and 22 Vict., c. 90 (ib., s. 5).
The act 39 and 40 Vict., c. 41, extends the powers of every body entitled under 21 and 22 Vict., c. 90, to grant qualifications for registration so that it may grant any qualification for registration granted by such body without distinction of sex—but nothing in this act is compulsory.
The Medical Act of 1886 (49 and 50 Vict., c. 48) modified the foregoing acts as follows:
Examination.—A person cannot lawfully be registered under the medical acts in respect of any qualification referred to in any of those acts unless he has passed such qualifying examination in medicine, surgery, and midwifery as is in this act mentioned (49 and 50 Vict., c. 48, s. 2).
